Cybersquatter Ordered To Give Up iTunes.co.uk

Posted by Zonk on from the good-try-though dept.

DigitumDei writes "Originally reported on Slashdot last year when Apple accused Benjamin Cohen of being a cybersquatter, the UK Internet registry has now ordered Cohen to give up the domain to Apple. Nominet ruled that Cohen had made an "abusive registration," and that he "is using the domain name in a way which has confused people or businesses into believing that the domain name is registered to, operated or authorized by, or otherwise connected with the complainant."

    yeah and if a guy steals your bank info that's fair play too - he worked harder at getting it than you worked at protecting it so he really deserves the money more than you do.

    let's just get rid of all anti-fraud laws and let 'the market' decide!
